A Cage! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
A Cage!
I am captivated inside a cage.
It's a cage of darkness.
It's like a black cloud covering all over me.
Its so dark, I cannot see myself.
I don't know where I am lost.
I was never like this before.
I couldn't realize,
Why this happened?
How this happened?
Its so gloomy inside.
There is no one who could see me.
Nor I can see anyone.
Who will free me from this cage?
I wondered did I captivate myself,
or anyone trapped me inside this cage?
If I remain on this cage for long,
No one will ask for me!
Even if I die on this cage also,
Beloved ones will offer condolences and
of course they will always remember me.
World will move on like before.
My presence or absence,
Doesn't make any difference.
Because its law of nature.
Even they have to survive
So they cannot just sit aside.
Life keeps on offering challenges.
Which will never allow us to sit in one place even for few seconds.
It will make us run without a break.
Our Beloved ones have died but we are also moving with the world!
This is the fact of life, which no one can change.
Life is only one!
We have to accept everything as it is!
We cannot swim against tides, but can go on with the flow!
This is the Teachings of life!
Is it......Our Life or our Thoughts inside a Cage?

Our Beloved ones have died but we are also moving with the world! This is the fact of life, which no one can change. Life is only one! We have to accept everything as it is! We cannot swim against tides, but can go on with the flow! A great truth. generally a poet never thinks before what to write. but after writing it looks glittering. A great write.
What ever may be cage represents captivity and it is pitiable. The poem is very nice to read and meanings vary with so much imaginations.

We are helpless creature living in a society of customs, traditions and taboos. All this have made this world a cage. We can move in it but can't fly away. We have to live in this cage and we have to die in this cage. Freedom from this cage is death only death. What happens after death? No eye witness.
